[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can a child enroll into Basis if they have failed grades at other schools? [/quote] Of course! The law does not allow for selective admissions![/quote] However, if he wants a spot in the 7th grade or higher, he will have to pass a placement exam. There is no placement exam for 5th and 6th. (I think the placement exam requirement is waived for the first year the school is in operation, so next year's 7th and 8th graders might not have to test in to those grades.) [/quote] However, if that child does not pass a placement exam then the school will still have to figure out how to serve him/her. They cannot deny education to any student who has been admitted nor force/counsel them out. Going to be a real interesting challenge for them.[/quote]
